Wisps dont have those problems.
Don't overlook this post too much. Wireless technology and its speed is now really taking off around the world. long range wireless technology that was slower than dial-up a few years ago can now deliver upwards of 100 mbit, if used to its potential. Anybody remember when cable was 256 kbit max? Those days are gone. It wasn't that long ago when cable was 5 mbit and now they are pushing up to 100 in some areas. A wisp may be legit competition in a few years. In fact, Slime Warner and Company might be doing us a favor by making this technology a harder push to get away from them. Then we may all be free from wires in several years...and Slime Warner will be bankrupt Wishful thinking maybe, but certainly not out of the realm of possibilities.

wisps are leaps and bounds slower than normal connections. By the time LTE comes around it may be different but at current situations, it's not the same level of competitiveness.

6MB downstream on a wisp maximum doesn't compare to 22mb downstream on comcast - those are different offerings.
